2. Two-third of the faculty members of a department are female. Twelve of the male teachers
are unmarried, while 60% of them are married. The total number of faculty members in the
department is:
Solution:
Let, total members are x
then female members are 2x/3
So, male members are = x 2x/3 = x/3
ATQ,
12 teachers are unmarried
Or, (100-60)% =40% =12
So, 100% = 12*100/40 = 30
Again,
x/3 = 30
Or, x=90
Now, total faculty members are 90

3. A trader marked the price of the T.V. 30% above the cost price of the T.V. and gave the
purchaser 10% discount on the marked price, thereby gaining Rs. 340. Find the cost price of the
TV?
Solution:
Let,
cost price of tv is x tk
Then, the market price = x + x×30/100 = 13x/10 tk
At 10% discount on market price,
Selling price = 13x/10 13x×10/10×100 = 117x/100 tk
Profit = 117x/100 x = 17x/100 tk
ATQ,
17x/100 = 340
Or,x = 340×100/17
Or, x = 2000
So, the cost price of the TV is 2000 tk
Answer: 2000 tk

4. A circular wheel 28 inches in diameter rotates (moves) the same number of inches per
second as a circular wheel 35 inches in diameter. If the smaller wheel makes x revolutions per
second, how many revolutions per minute does the larger wheel make in terms of x ?
Solution:
As we know,
1 revolution of circle= Circumference of that circle
Again,
Circumference of circle=2πr
Given that,
Diameter = 28 inches
So, radius, r= 28/2= 14 inches
Now, circumference = 28π inches
Hence,
x revolutions per sec = 28πx inches
Then in 60 sec 28πx × 60 inches
ATQ,
28πx × 60 = 35πn
=> n = 48x
Thusa the required no of revolutions is 48x
Answer: 48x

Let,
The duration of the fight be=x hrs
Original distance be=6i00 km
According to the question,
Original speed-Reduced speed=200
600/x-600/(x+1/2)=200
Or, 600/x-1200/(2x+1)=200
Or, 3/x-{6/(2x+1)}=1
Or, (6x+3-6x)/{x(2x+1)}=1
Or, 2x2+3x-2x-3=0
Or, x(2x+3)-1(2x-3)=0
Or, (2x+3)(x-1)=0
Now,
X-1=0
Or, X=1
And
2x+3=0
Or, X=-(3/2)

3. a, b, c, d, e are 5 consecutive numbers in increasing order, deleting one of them from the
set decreased the sum of the remaining numbers by 20% of the sum of 5. Which one of the
number is deleted from the set?
Solution:
Since a, b, c, d, e are increasing order consecutive number,
b = a + 1,
c = a + 2,
d = a + 3,
e=a+4
The sum of five numbers = a + a + 1 + a + 2 + a + 3 + a + 4 = 5a +
10
We are given that the sum decreased by 20% when one number was
deleted
New sum = (5a + 10) 20% of (5a + 10) = 4a + 8
Then, 4a + 8 = 5a + 10 Dropped number
Dropped number = a + 2 = c

5. Two persons are running in 3.6km/h and 7.2 km/h speed. A train passes them in 9 & 9.5
seconds. What is the length of the train and speed of the train?
Solution:
Let,
The speed of the train = x kmh
Know that,
Distance = speed × time
ATQ,
(x-3.6)×9 = (x-7.2) × 9.5
Or, 9x 32.4 = 9.5x 68.4
Or, 0.5x = 36
Or, x = 72 kmh
Here, speed of the train = 72 kmh
So, distance covered = {(72-3.6) × 9 × (5/18)}=171 meter

interest. Find the value of x and y.
Solution:
,ATQ,
{4000x/100}+{5000y/100}=320
Or, 4x + 5y = 32 -(i)
Again,
{5000x/100}+{4000y/100}= 310
Or,5x + 4y = 31 -(ii)
From (i)×5 (ii)×4,
20x + 25y = 160
20x + 16y = 124

Or,9y = 36
Or, y = 4

equally blue, white and red. 70% of black cars, 80% of blue cars, 30% of white cars, 40% of red
cars were sold. What percentage of total cars were sold?
Solution:
Let,
The total car was x
So,
Black was = x/2
Remaining cars =(x-x/2)=x/2
ATQ,
Other cars are equal colours
So,
Blue, White, and Red are
x/6,x/6,x/6 respectively
Sold cars:
Black cars=x/2 of 70%=7x/20
Blue cars=x/6 of 80%=2x/15
White cars=x/6 of 30%=x/20
Red cars=x/6 of 40%=x/15
Total sold
=(7x/20)+(2x/15)+(x/20)+(x/15)

business? (15)
Solution:

f profit = 1/3
(1/8 + 1/3) = 13/24
Ratio of profit of A, B and C = 1/8:1/3:13/24 = 3:8:13
Let, A contributes Tk. x for 4 months and B contribute Tk. y for 6 months.
Ratio of investments of A, B and C = 4x : 6y : (1560 × 8) = 4x : 6y : 12480
Now,
4x : 12480 = 3 : 13
Or, 4x/12480 = 3/13
Or, 52x = 12480 × 3
Or, x = (12480 × 3) / 52
Or, x = 720
Again,
6y : 12480 = 8 : 13
Or, 6y/12480 = 8/13
Or, 78y = 12480 × 8
Or, y = (2480 × 8) / 78
Or, y = 1280
So, contribution of A and B is Tk. 720 and Tk. 1280 respectively.
Ans: Tk. 720 and Tk. 1280

02. Machine A, working alone at its constant rate, produces x pounds of peanut butter in 12
minutes. Machine B, working alone at its constant rate, produces x pounds of peanut butter in
18 minutes. How many minutes will it take machines A and B, working simultaneously at their
respective constant rates, to produce x pounds of peanut butter? (15)
Solution:
Machine A and B produce in 1 minute = (x/12 + x/18) = 5x/36
5x/36 pounds is produced by both machines in 1 minute
Or, 1 pounds is produced by both machines in 36/5x minute
Or, x pounds is produced by both machines in (36/5x × x) = 7.2 minute
Ans: 7.2 minutes

03. Two trains running at the rate of 75 km and 60 km an hour respectively on parallel rails in
opposite directions, are observed to pass each other in 8 seconds and when they are running in
the same direction at the same rates as before, a person sitting in the faster train observes that
he passes the other in 31 1/2 seconds. Find the lengths of the trains. (15)
Solution:
Moving in opposite direction:
Relative speed of two trains = (75 + 60) km/hr = 135 km/hr = (135 × 5/18) m/s = 75/2 m/s
Length of the both trains = (75/2 × 8) meters = 300 meters
When moving in the same direction,
Relative speed of two trains = (75 60) km/hr = 15 km/hr = (15 × 5/18) m/s = 25/6 m/s
So, Length of the slower train = (25/6 × 31.5) meters = 131.25 meters
Thus, length of the faster train = 300 131.25 = 168.75 meters
Ans: 131.25 meters and 168.75 meters.

04. A gardener plants two rectangular gardens in separate regions on his property. The first
garden has an area of 600 square feet and a length of 40 feet. If the second garden has a width
twice that of the first garden, but only half of the area, what is the ratio of the perimeter of the
first garden to that of the second garden? (15)
Solution:
Width of the first garden = 600/40 = 15 feet.
ATQ,
width of the second garden = 15 × 2 = 30 feet
and, area of the second garden = ½ × 600 = 300 sq. feet
So, length of the second garden = 300/30 = 10 feet
Now, Perimeter of the first garden : Perimeter of the second garden
= 2(40+15) : 2(10+30)
= 110 : 80
= 11 : 8

the girls are taller than the tallest boy in the class. If there are 16 students in the class and no
two people have the same height, what percent of the students are taller than the shortest girl
and shorter than the tallest boy? (15)
Solution:
Total students = 16
1/5 implies that no. of boys must be a multiple of 5
And
1/3 implies that the no. of girls must be a multiple of 3.
So, Boys = 10 and Girls = 6 which satisfy the no. of total students (10 + 6) = 16
Shorter boys = (1/5 × 10) = 2 and shortest girl = 1
Taller girls = (1/3 × 6) =2 and tallest boy = 1
Taller than shortest girls and shorter than tallest boy = (16 2 2 1 1) = 10
So, Required percentage = (10/16 × 100) = 62.5%
Ans: 62.5%

Bangladesh is now apparently in the grip
,
of all sorts of pollution like air pollution
and water pollution.

The dwellers of the urban areas are the

worst sufferers of such pollution.

The indiscriminate industrialization

process in Bangladesh over the past
decades has created significant
environmental problems.

We will now know about some of the

common types of environmental
pollutions.

Air pollution comes from a wide variety of

sources.

In Bangladesh poisonous exhaust from

industrial plants, brick kilns, old or poorly , ,
serviced vehicles and dust from roads and
construction sites are some of the major
sources of air pollution.

We can reduce this type of pollution by

making less use of motor vehicles and
avoiding the use of vehicles older than 20

Instruction: Answer the following questions in the blank space provided below each question.
Figures at the right hand margin indicates full marks,

01. A train 300m long along overtook a man walking along the line in the same direction at a
speed of 4 km/h and passed him in 30 sec. The train reached the station in 15 minutes after it
had passed the man. In what time did the man reach the station?
Solution:
Let,
The speed of the train be x km/hr
Since the direction is same,
The relative speed
= (x -4) km/hr
= (x 4)1000/3600 m/sec
= (5/18)× (x 4)
ATQ,
300/{(5/18)× (x 4)} = 30
Or, (300×18)/5(x 4) = 30
Or, 150(x 4) = 300 × 18
Or, x-4 = 300 × 18/150
Or, x-4 = 36
Or, x = 40
So, the speed of the train is x = 40 km/hr
After passing the man, the train travels for 15 minutes.
So, distance covered by the train = 40× 15/60 km = 10 km.
Now, the man needs time = 10km/4km/hr = 2 ½ hr to reach the station.

02. Two boats on opposite banks of a river start moving towards each other. They first pass
each other 1400 meter from one bank. They each continue to the opposite bank, immediately to
around and start back to the other bank. When they pass each other a second time, they are
600 meters from the other bank. We assume that each boat travels at a constant speed all along
the journey. Find the width of the river?
Solution:
Let,
width of the river be x meter.
At 1st passing,
Boat 1 moves 1400 meter
So, Boat 2 moves = x 1400 meter
At 2nd passing,
Boat 1 moves = (x-1400 + 600) meter = x-800 meter
Boat 2 moves = 1400 + (x-600) meter = x + 800 meter
Now,
1400/(x-1400) = (x-800)/(x+800)
Or, x2 800x 1400x + 800×1400 = 1400x + 800×1400
Or, x2 3600x = 0
Or, x(x-3600) =0
X = 0 (Not Acceptable)
x-3600 =0
or, x = 3600
03. In a mixture of milk and water, their ratio is 4:5 in the first container. And the same
mixture has ratio 5:1 in the second container. In what ratio should the mixture be extracted
from such container and poured into the third container, so that the ration of milk and water
comes to 5:4 in the third container.
Solution:
Let 1st container contains X liters mixture of milk and water.
Milk in 1st container = 4/9x
Water in 1st container =5/9x
Let 2nd container contains Y liters mixture of milk and water
Milk in 2nd container = 5/6y
Water in 2nd container =1/6y
Let the two mixture combine such that the milk to water ratio is 5:4
So,
(4x/9 + 5y/6) / (5x/9 +y/6) =5/4
or, (8x + 15y)/(10x + 3y) = 5/4
Or, 50x + 15y = 32x + 60y
Or, 18x = 45y
Or, x/y = 45/18
Or, x/y = 5/2
Hence mixture from first container and second container should be mixed in the ratio 5/2 for
milk and water to be in ratio 5:4.

04.A can do a piece of work in 120 days and B can do it in 150 days. They work together for 20
days. Then B leaves and A continues the work alone. 12 days after that C joins A and the work
is completed in 48 days more. In how many days can do it if he works alone?
Solution:

Remaining work = 1- (3/10+1/10)=3/5

 -1/120)=1/240
S0, C does the work in 240 days.

05. The number of girls in a school is 160 more than 1/3 of the total enrollment of the school.
The number of boys is 280 more than 1/7 of the total enrollment in the school. How many
pupils in the school are girls and boys?
Solution:
Let,
the total enrollment of students be T,
number of girls G and the boys B.
ATQ,
G = 160 + T/3
B = 280 +T/7
T = G+B = 160 + T/3 + 280 +T/7,
Or, 21T = 3360 + 7T + 5880 + 3T
Or, 11T = 3360+5880 = 9240
Or, T = 9240/11 = 840
So G = 160 + 840/3 = 440 and
B = 280 + 840/7 = 400

06. A manufacturing company uses two machines A and B with different production capacities.
When working alone, machine A can produce a production lot in 5 hours and machine B can
produce the same lot in x hours. When the two machines operate simultaneously to produce
the same production lot, it takes them 2 hours to complete the job. How many hours will the
machine B take to produce the production lot alone?
Solution:

As (A+B) take 2 hours to complete the job, they take 1 hour to do ½ of the job.
So,

Chikungunya is an infection by the
chikungunya Virus.

Symptoms include lever and joint pain.

These typically occur two to twelve days after

exposure.

Other symptoms may include headache, ,

muscle pain, joint swelling, and rash. ,

Most people are better within a week,

however, Occasionally the joint pain may last , ,
for months.

The risk of death is around 1 to 1000.

The virus is spread between people by two

types of mosquitoes: Aedes albopictus and
aedes aegypti.

They mainly bite during the day.

The virus may circulate within a number of

animals including birds and rodents.

Diagnosis is by either testing the blood for the RNA

The best means of prevention is overall

mosquito control and the avoidance of bites in
areas where the disease is common.

This may be partly achieved by decreasing

of insect repellent and mosquito nets.

 There is no vaccine and no specific treatment
as of 2016.

Recommendations include rest, fluids and

,
medications to help with fever and joint pain.

Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Water pollution refers to any change in natural water that may impair further use of water,
caused by the introduction of organic or inorganic substances or by a change in the temperature
of water. Waste water emanate from the following sources: Municipal waste water, Industrial
waste water, Agricultural runoff, Storm water and urban runoff.
During recent years, chemical pollution of water bodies has increased many fold and people
who are responsible for human health have become increasingly concerned about water
pollution. Eutrophication is the enrichment of water by nutrients from natural or man-made
sources, or all the nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus are most often considered as key
nutrients responsible for promotion of growth of algae and other plants resulting in anoxic
condition.
Pesticides used in agriculture reach natural or man-made water bodies and cause disruption to
one or more physiological functions of aquatic organisms by interfering with the production of
necessary biochemical e.g., D.D.T. which consists of aromatic ring, mimic the effects of estrogen
in aquatic animals such as fish, where the reproduction is disturbed. As such non-biodegradable
pesticides accumulate in the body of aquatic organisms through the process of bio
magnification. Along with agricultural runoff many toxic chemicals reach water bodies through
industrial effluents.
The structure of a molecule is the key to its biodegradability. In general polymers with mixed
backbone linkage (carbon-oxygen or carbon-nitrogen) show greater susceptibility to hydrolysis.
than carbon-carbon backbone polymers. Polymers with aromatic components or branched
region tend to be more resistant to attack by microorganisms than straight chain aliphatic
compounds.
Most common system practiced for control of water pollution is the use of waste water
treatment plants, based on the physical, chemical and biological treatment steps generally
known as preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary treatments. It must be remembered that
the steps of treatment and type of treatment will depend upon the constituents and their
concentrations in the eMoent and final usage of water.
(a) Why did the quality of water deteriorated due to human activities?
(b) Why the protection of human health has become a problem?

(d) What determines biodegradability of a chemical?

(e) How polluted water is treated for safe disposal.

Q-1:Two rabbits start running towards each other, one from A to B and another from B to A.
They cross each other after one hour and the first rabbit reaches B, 5/6 hour before the second
rabbit reaches A. If the distance between A and B is 50 km. what is the speed of the slower
rabbit?
Answer: 20 km/hr
Full Solution:
Let second rabbit takes x hr with speed s2
First rabbit takes x-5/6 hr with speed s1
Total distance = 50km
S1 = 50/(x-(5/6))
S2= 50/x

Total speed = s1 + s2
Now, T = D / S
50/(s1+s2) = 1
x = 5/2, 1/3
Put x= 5/2 in s2 > 20 km/hr
Shortcut:
Let, speed of faster & slower rabbit be x & y respectively
Atq, x+y=50
And, 50/y-50/x=5/6
From the above equations, y=20 km/h (ans)

2. Pipe A can fill a Tank in 18 Hours, Pipe B can empty a Tank in 12 Hours, Pipe C can fill Tank
in 6 Hours. The Tank is already filled up to 1/6 of its capacity. Now Pipe A is opened in the First
Hour alone, Pipe B is opened in the Second Hour alone and Pipe C is opened in the Third Hour
alone. This cycle is repeated until the Tank gets filled. Then in How many Hours does the rest of
Tank gets filled?
Full Solution:
In First Hour Tank filled = 1/6+1/18
Second Hour = 1/6+1/18-1/12
Third Hour = 1/6+1/18-1/12+1/6 = 11/36 is filled
25/36 is left
From then 3 hours work = 1/18-1/12+1/6 = 5/36
5*3 Hours = 5*5/36 = 25/36
Total = 5*3+3 = 18 Hours
Shortcut:
Remaining part=1-1/6=5/6
In 3hrs 3pipes can fill=1/18-1/12+1/6=5/36
So,
To fill 5/6part, it requires=3*36/5*5/6=18 hrs (ans)
Ans: 18 Hours

3.
He then replaces it water. He repeated the process total three times. Every time while selling he
reduces selling price by tk. 2. After this process Milk left in the mixture is only 108 liters so he
decided to sell the entire Mixture at tk. 15 per liter. Then how much profit did he earned if
bought Milk at tk. 20 per liter?
Ans: 70 Tk. profit
Shortcut:
Seller sells Milk at Tk. 20,18 and 16 respectively for three times
= 25*(20+18+16) = 1350
108 = x(1-25/100) 3
x =256 liter
He sold entire 256 at Tk.15 =256*15 = 3840
Cost price = 256*20 = 5120
profit = 5190-5120 = 70 Tk. (ans)
Ans: 70 Tk. profit

4. A container contains milk and water in the ratio of 3:1. How much mixture should be taken
out and replaced with milk so that the container contains milk and water in the ratio of 15:4.
What portion of original mixture had been replaced by milk.
Full Solution:
Let total original quantity = x litres, Let y litres replaced.
After y litres of mixture drawn out,
Milk = [3/(3+1)] * x [3/(3+1)] * y
Water = [1/(3+1)] * x [1/(3+1)] * y
Now y litres of milk poured in can. Milk becomes (3/4)*x (3/4)*y +y = (3/4)*x +(1/4)*y
Now [(3/4)*x +(1/4)*y] / [(1/4)*x (1/4)*y] = 15/4
Solve, y = (3/19)* x
So 3/19 of original mixture removed.
Ans: 3/19 portion had been replaced by milk

5. A man rows to a place 40 km distant and back in a total of 18 hours. He finds that he can
row 5 km with the stream in the same time as 4 km against the stream. What is the speed of
boat in still water?
Full Solution:
Suppose he moves 5km downstream in x hours
Then, downstream speed a= 5/x km/hr
Speed upstream speed b = 4/x km/hr
40 / (5 /x) + 40 / (4/x) = 18
8x + 10x = 18
x=1
a = 5 km/hr, b = 4 km/hr
speed of boat = ½ (5 + 4 ) = 9/2 km/hr= 4.5 Km/hr
Shortcut:
Speed in downstream=5/t
Speed in upstream=4/t
ATQ, 40/(5/t)+40/(4/t)=18
=>t=1
So,
Speed in downstream=5
Speed in upstream=4
Now speed of boat in steel water=(5+4)/2=4.5 km/hr (ans)
Ans: Speed of the boat in still water 4.5 km/hr

6. Probability Solution A Bag contains some White and Black Balls. The probability of picking two
white balls one after other without replacement from that bag is 14/33. Then what will be the
probability of picking two Black balls from that Bag if bag can hold maximum 15 balls only?
Full Solution:
Wc2/ (B+W)c2 = 14/33
W (W-1)/(W+B)*(B+W-1) = 14/33
Now expressing 14/33 in the above format by multiplying 4 in numerator and denominator
W (W-1)/(W+B)*(B+W-1) = 8*7/12*11 (note = balls <15)
W =8
W+B =12 B =4
Probability = 4c2/12c2 = 1/11
Shortcut:
4/33=(8/12)*(7/11)
So we can write,
Total ball=12
White ball=8
Black ball=12-8=4
So, Required probability=4c2/12c2= 1/11(ans)
Ans: 1//11

1. 1 machine X can print one lakh books in 8 hours, machine Y can print the same number of books in
10 hours while machine Z can print them in 12 hours. All the machines are started at 9 A.M. while
machine X is closed at 11 A.M. and the remaining two machines complete work. Approximately at what
time will the work?
Solution:
1 1 1 37
(X + Y + Z)'s 1 hour's work = + + = .
8 10 12 120
37 37
Work done by X, Y and Z in 2 hours = x2 = .
120 60
37 23
Remaining work = 1 - = .
60 60
1 1 11
(Y + Z)'s 1 hour's work = + = .
10 12 60
11
Now, work is done by Y and Z in 1 hour.
60
23 60 23 23
So, work will be done by Y and Z in x = hours 2 hours.
60 11 60 11
So, the work will be finished approximately 2 hours after 11 A.M., i.e., around 1 P.M.

2. Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed
and A and B can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. How many hours will take C alone to fill the tank ?
Solution:
Combined rate of work
1/a+1/b+1/c=1/6
Work done by 3 in 2 hrs=2x1/6=1/3
Work left to be done
1-1/3=2/3.
This work is done by a&b in 7 hrs.
Thus Rate of work is
Work/time=2/3/7=2/21
Therefore 1/c=1/6 - 2/21.

Solving the equation c=14 hr

3. A man went downstream for 28 km in a motor boat and immediately returned. It took the man twice
as long to make the return trip. If the speed of the river flow were twice as high, the trip downstream
and back would take 672 minutes. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the river
flow.
Solution:
Let the speed of the boat = p kmph
Let the speed of the river flow = q kmph
From the given data,
2 x {28/(p + q)} = 28/(p q)
=> 56p - 56q -28p - 28q = 0
=> 28p = 84q
=> p = 3q.
Now, given that if
28/(3q + 2q) + 28/(3q − 2q) = 672/60
=> 28/5q + 28/q = 672/60
=> q = 3 kmph
=> p =3q = 9 kmph
Hence, the speed of the boat = p kmph = 9 kmph and the speed of the river flow = q kmph = 3 kmph.

4. Rahim has 30 marbles, 18 red & 12 blue marbles. Karim has 20 marbles. The ratio of red & blue
marbles is equal to Rahim marbles. How many more blue marbles Rahim has?
Solution:
Let blue marbles for Karim be x
The, red marbles for Karim will be 20 - x
Rahim has 30 marbles, 18 of which are red and 12 of which are blue.

Thus,

We use the same ratio for Karim.

3 × x = 2 × (20 - x)
3x = 40 - 2x
5x = 40

Rahim has 12 blue marbles. So, he has 12 - 8 = 4 more blue marbles than Karim.
5. A train travelling at 20 m/s completely crosses another train having 192 meters length travelling in
same direction at 15 m/s in 1.5 minutes. In what time will they cross each other travelling in opposite
direction and length of the faster train is?
Solution:
Let the length of faster train be x metres.
Then, distance covered = x + 192 metres.
In same direction Relative speed = (20 - 15) m/s
Now, (x+192)/90 = 5
=> x = 450 - 192
x = 258 metres
In opposite direction Relative speed = (20+15) = 35 m/s
Distance has to be covered = 192 + 258 = 450 metres
So the needed time = 450/35 = 12.86 sec
